the chords are not exactly accurate , but i think it sounds ok , and it’s simply to play .
enjoy! : )

intro : C G Am F ( x4 )

C
paper bags and plastic hearts
G
all our belongings in shopping carts
Am
it’s goodbye
F
but we got one more night
C
let’s get drunk and ride around
G
and make peace with an empty town
Am F
we can make it right

chorus :
Am
throw it away
C
forget yesterday
F G
we’ll make the great escape
Am
we won’t hear a word they say
C F G
they don’t know us anyway
Am
watch it burn
C
let it die
F G C G Am F ( x2 )
cause we are finally free tonight

C
tonight will change our lives
G
it’s so good to be by your side
Am
but we’ll cry
F
we won’t give up the fight
C
we’ll scream loud at the top of our lungs
G
and they’ll think it’s just cause we’re young
Am F
and we’ll feel so alive

( same chords as chorus before )
throw it away
forget yesterday
we’ll make the great escape
we won’t hear a word they say
they don’t know us anyway
watch it burn
let it die
cause we are finally free tonight

Am
all of the wasted time
C
the hours that were left behind me
F
answers that we’ll never find
G Am C F G ( x2 )
they don’t mean a thing tonight

( repeat chords for chorus )
throw it away
forget yesterday
we’ll make the great escape
we won’t hear a word they say
they don’t know us anyway

throw it away
forget yesterday
we’ll make the great escape
we won’t hear a word they say
they don’t know us anyway

throw it away
forget yesterday
we’ll make the great escape
we won’t hear a word they say
they don’t know us anyway
watch it burn
let it die
cause we are finally free tonight
